Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Most of the reactions by which energy from sugars is released for use by the cell takes place within the
A
vacuoles
B
nuclei
C
ribosomes
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the mitochondria, the metabolism of sugars is completed, and the energy released is harnessed so efficiently that about 30 molecules of ATP are produced for each molecule of glucose oxidized. By contrast, only 2 molecules of ATP are produced per glucose molecule by glycolysis alone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once glucose is digested and transported to your cells, a process called cellular respiration releases the stored energy and converts it to energy that your cells can use. Cellular respiration consists of three metabolic processes: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer: Mitochondria take in C. Carbohydrate, burn it and release ATP for cellular energy. Mitochondrial is the specific organelle responsible for the uptake of carbohydrates which is subjected to cellular respiration processes. The metabolism of carbohydrates is completed in the mitochondria of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the fourth step of cellular respiration, and produces the most of the energy in cellular respiration.
